This past week, through our continued partnership with the Delaware Office of Highway Safety, 10 additional New Castle County Police Officers earned certification as Child Passenger Safety Technicians. The newly certified technicians include Detectives from our Traffic Services Unit and Officers from our Community Services Unit, expanding our ability to help keep children safe on our roadways.

Our certified technicians offer FREE car seat inspections and installations to ensure seats are properly installed and appropriate for your child’s age and size.

Our Officers can help answer questions such as:

✅ Is my car seat installed correctly?

✅ Is my child’s harness adjusted properly?

✅ Should my child be rear-facing or forward-facing?

Secure the Kids

Detectives with the New Castle County Division of Police have charged 46-year-old Todd Hill of Wilmington with multiple felony offenses following an investigation into the sexual assault of a juvenile that occurred in the unit block of South Cannon Drive in Wilmington.

During the investigation, Detectives determined that Todd Hill was a manager at Kids First Swim School in Aston, Pennsylvania, where the 16-year-old male victim was employed as a lifeguard.

Detectives further determined that the victim had stayed overnight at Hill’s residence on South Cannon Drive on multiple occasions. During the investigation, Detectives discovered that Hill engaged in unlawful sexual contact with the 16-year-old victim while the victim was staying at his residence. Investigators also recovered and reviewed numerous concerning text message exchanges between Hill and the victim. Detectives further learned that, in January 2026, Hill traveled to Mexico with the victim.

Following a thorough investigation, Detectives obtained an arrest warrant for Hill. Detectives assigned to the Fugitive Apprehension and Surveillance Team were immediately notified and initiated efforts to locate him. On June 16, 2026, Hill was located at his residence and taken into custody without incident. He was subsequently transported to New Castle County Police Headquarters, where he was charged with the following offenses:

• Six felony counts of Unlawful Sexual Contact in the Second Degree
• One felony count of Enticement for Purposes of Sexual Conduct

Hill was arraigned at Justice of the Peace Court 2 and committed to the Howard R. Young Correctional Institution after failing to post $21,000 secured bail.
